Phone-Accessories Reviews

Deep, loud Bass, Extremely comfortable to wear. High quality sound, quite accurate. Heard details on my music I've never heard before. Great Balance of Value and Quality. Only downfall is that they are plastic.

For the price these are great headphones. I use them for recording and listening to music. They are great for reference.
A+++.

Two Thumbs Up! When I tried this headset with some of classical music CDs ( DDD, ADD, AAD ) and OGG ( 500Kbps Max_Value ) files made by them ( I tested them! :-) ), it is very different from other general headsets. It expresses music and sound with more deep and sharp with very sophisticated voices; therefore, each of instruments in orchestra expresses its discrete sounds very cleary. :-) I think that it has huge value with the price. Low price with high quality sounds. :-) I'm also satisfied with the volume control in the headset, especially for the volume level. When I listen to a classical music, i turned on the volume level with 55/100%. It is too loud for me to listen a music over 60/100%. I really recommend this headset when you are especially a classical music listener. It will be excellent choice for you.

The other reviewers wrote some great info about this Microphone. Some drawbacks are the relatively bulkyness of this unit as compared to others.

The sound quality is sufficiently clear when recording, but is not sensitive enough to satisfy the most demanding users such as musicians or professional reporters. As the other reviewers have said, you need a relatively loud source as there is no sensitivity switch or zoom feature. It does have the 90-120 degree switch, so you can toggle the range depending on what you are recording.

This microphone is very compatible with many different devices. MD is the best though.

Here's one MD player recorder that I know has the microphone jack and works great with this microphone:
'Sony MZ-NF810CK Net MD MiniDisc Recorder with Car Kit'

However, don't be fooled. Not every MD player has the appropriate Mic Jack. Double Check the technical documentation to make sure. Units that definitely do not have it are:
'Sony MZ-NE410 High Speed Net MD Walkman Recorder'

Notice the deceptive "Recorder" moniker in the product name. Don't be fooled! Very few MD "recorders" actually record with a microphone!

Not sure about these:
'Sony MZ-NF610 High Speed Net MD Walkman Recorder'
'Sony MZ-N510CK NetMD Walkman/Recorder with Car Kit'
'Sony MZ-N505 Net MD Walkman Player/Recorder'

Do your research before purchasing any MD player. All in all, this is a good value and pretty good quality for a digital microphone.

If you look around you'll see that this mic is one of the most popular for recording concerts, lectures, etc. I found it to be clear when recording, although there needed to be moderate volume. There is no sensitivity switch. It does have the 90-120 degree switch, so you can increase the scope of recording. The unit is built well, and comes apart easily to allow replacement of the battery, which should last a long time. When using this microphone, make sure if the volume level reaching you is not high enough, position it better, like one other reviewer said, or spend the extra money and get a zoom microphone. Also an mp3 player that allows digital recording comes in really handy.

I use the MS-MS907 microphone on a weekly basis. My main use of this microphone is to record lectures and it does a good job of it. Of course microphone placement is the key to a good recording but the MS907 provides a good pickup at this price point. It operates on a single AA battery and is highly efficient with energy consumption. Another feature I like about this microphone is that it provides two pickup pattern (90degrees for an individual speaker and 120degrees to accomodate a chorus).

I would recommend investing in either a minidisc recorder or a MP3 recorder.

I have read many reviews of this phone before buying. Then i bought the phone and found out right away that this phone works as a speaker phone all the time!only! 100%. There is the "hands free" mode. you know the speaker phone. But in the so called non speaker phone mode, it's still in a speaker phone mode. When i talk i cant here the person i talk to, and when the other person is talking they cant here me. Just like a non-full duplex speaker phone. I dont know if i can live with this phone now! Its like useing a walkie talkie. not a real phone. Its like ok my turn to talk , now your turn to talk. DID'NT ANYBODY REALIZE THIS! im the only one who notice's. Are all handset speaker phones like this? I dont think i will ever be able to tell untill i buy. That sucks. I gave it 4 stars because every thing about the phone is good, ignoring the strange walkie talkie mode only.

This phone is so close to being entirely right, but they missed the boat with their software in my opinion.

The hardware is great -- it looks nice, seems quite solid, and the sound quality is excellent. For all its features and complexity, the software is easy to use. So what's the problem?

Simply put, the design of the menu system, while logical, totally ignores convenience. It takes too many keystrokes for common operations. But what really takes the cake -- and prompted me to write -- is that the answering machine in the 5280 does not associate caller-id information with each call. When you play back phone messages, you have to manually access the caller-id history and scroll through calls, trying to match messages against caller-id information. How do you find a match? THe only way is to match caller-id timestamps with message timestamps (which is not possible until AFTER message playback because the aural time stamp comes after the message). It would have been much better if the caller-id info were simply displayed automatically during playback.

Yes, these are small nits, but its getting things like this right that distinguishes very good from great.

This system is excellent. I am buying 2 additional sets to add to my actual system. Each set has many nice features, like retriving voice messages and speaker. You do not have to be at the base to check messages or using the speaker feature...and also nice is the fact that you do not need phone jacks for each set. Amazon.com has the best price for this product.

I was abit suspicious when I heard of VOIP internet telephony, which (unlike typical internet telephony services like "net2phone" or "dialpad") is supposed to work really well with broadband/fast internet service (e.g. DSL, Cable, or satellite. However when I heard about the good reviews of VOIP I decided tyo give it a try since I had DSL. I decided to subsrcibe to DeltaThree's "iconnecthere" service and that meant that I needed to buy the Actiontec IPW in order to use it. The Actiontec IPW device is very easy to use and works just fine with the "iconnecthere" service. I have had no problems with it and the voice clarity is very good (I'd give it an 8/10). The only problem is that the instructions that came with the Actiontec IPW on how to connect it to the PC and Modem weren't clear so I had to figure it out on my own. However I have submitted a "flow chart" to Amazon.com which I assume can be found on this page, and it shows how to connect the device easily, I hope you find it helpful!

This product is excelent.
I also use iConnectHere, but this product is not mandatory for placing calls. I used a headset w/microphone in the first place, and later decided to buy the IPW.
The sound quality is very good. I have also been able to use it with the following providers/products:

Dialpad/DialpadChameleon
FreeWorldDialUp/X-ten lite

However, you cannot dial directly from the phone's numeric keypad with these. Only PcPhone (from iConnectHere) supports this feature.

Don't forget that a high network/internet load can affect the sound quality.

These headphones have great sound quality, but are a little annoying because of a lack of in line sound control. They work great on a bus or in traffic, because they do not completely block out the world around you. They also are very stylish, with 4 color palletes included. The cord often gets tangled, but they come with a thing to wrap it around. All in all, these are a good pair of headphones

The Aiwa HP-EC3 Ear Clip Design Headphones are a great buy. They are great because two people can listen at the same time and you don't have to stick anything in your ear.

I'm not a true audiophile, but to my untutored ears these headphones sound pretty decent. Bass is rich, and they're able to handle whatever volume my ears can tolerate without distortion. They're quite comfortable and would probably fit just about everyone, unless maybe you have a particularly small head.

I wouldn't describe the sound from these as spectacular, but you probably won't find anything spectacular in this price range. Overall, I'm pleased with them.

My good ol' Sony MDR-V6's finally gave up the ghost, so I was in the market for a replacement. After comparing endless reviews and specs, I figured I'd take an educated chance on these. (JVC for headphones? Whodathunkit? I began my search w/the usual suspects- Sennheiser,Koss,Sony etc.).
I strongly recommend these! They have 50mm drivers (which helps in every way) and have a wide frequency response (12-25k Hz. which is beyond the 20-20 audible spectrum- get an extra pair for your dog!). I was tempted to get the HAG77's, but the only difference is that the frequency response is even wider (10-25...get this extra pair if you have space alien friends!).
Happy listening!

Noise cancellation is adequate considering the price.

Positives:
Handy retractable cord
Decent battery life
Comfortable

Negatives
Noise cancellation uneven between earcups

This is the second pair of these headphones I have tried. I returned the first pair because it seemed as though the cancellation was not equal on the left side. I even flipped the phones around and sure enough, one side sounded different. My second pair behaved in the same way and I concluded that the microphone on the top of the earcup must have been obstructed by the headband.

Overall, a good entry level setup however my next purchase will be the Sennheiser PXC 250. They offer better cancellation abilities and music reproduction. Or, if you really wish to go all out, there are the Bose. . .

I bought these to use with my Ipod, especially on long haul flights. They fold down to a compact size so are excellent for travel. Sound quality is excellent when listening to music. The full shell earphone is comfortable and the noise cancelling function cuts out a lot of low frequency sound. Priced in the middle of the range I think these are great value.

You can't beat this price for simple, closed ear headphones. Labtec is a reputable brand and makes good products. These will work with anything (including computers and walkmans) and are great. However, these are extremely well suited for devices such as scanners and sound labs.

These headphones have good sound and are comfortable. Not too heavy either. Headband is well made. They hit all the sound ranges well. Dual volume controls are nice too. A stereo/mono switch is something all headphones should have, and these include that.

Here are two minor gripes that docked the review down to 4 stars. First, the cups don't close over your ear perfectly, therefore not providing the tightest seal possible. And number two, the cord is too short. Yes, it's coiled, but it doesn't uncoil well enough. I'd rather see it uncoiled with at least 9 feet / 3 meters in length.

Still a very worthwhile product for private audio listening needs.

These have to be the greatest headphones (for the price) that ive ever owned. The quality is incredible and the volume control on the side is a great convienience

these headphones are wonderful especially for the price - if the earpieces were just a little softer for those of us who wear them for extended walks and commutes, they would be perfect - soundwise, no complaints at all!

These headphones are perfect for teen bus rides or long trips where there is limited space for extras. Their sound quality was great for this type of headphone. All-in-all, I gave these phones a four star rating for their sound quality but somewhat uncomforatble earpieces.

These are great earphones. Great sound and comfortable fitting. I would recommend them for anyone. I liked them so much, I'm buying another pair for my other walkman.
